Jeremías Martínez Reyes

39 years old / various trades./Candida’s husband.

 Sometimes he works in construction as a day laborer, and he enjoys helping his wife in the store in front of their house.


They have lived here for 7 to 8 years, which is also how long they have been together as a couple. They have two children who, at that moment, were in school. Cándida tells us that their oldest child, who is 14 years old, is very happy and excited about the house that Shelter will provide for their family. As a father, Jeremías goes out to work and is the one who contributes financially to their home. However, due to certain circumstances, they started investing and working on a family business, creating a store at the entrance of their house. “My biggest dream of having a safer home will soon come true, and it’s all thanks to God and to you, who God is using to bless many families like mine.”
